    Internet Explorer Rendering The Output Of My PHP Pages Badly

    http://www.houseproudlancs.co.uk/index.new.htm is the worst, can somebody
    please have a look and tell me where im going wrong? It shows fine in
    opera, konqueror, mozilla, netscape but not IE.

    i could check the users browser, and if its IE, show a different page, but
    thats a bad workaround.

    TIA

      This has nothing to do with PHP. Before you do ask elsewhere, don't
      forget your homework again: check the archives and FAQs, lurk before
      posting, and validate your markup (or at least provide in your post
      an explanation of why it doesn't validate).

      Anyhow, out of curiosity, why are image widths expressed as
      percentages? See HTML4.01 sec. 13.7.1.

      Not only a bad (non-)workaround, but the source of yet more problems.

          Firstly, that is not a PHP question and this is a PHP newsgroup.

          Having had a quick glance at the source I found the HTML code is all over
          the place - lots of mistakes in the <table>, an <h2> tag in the <head>
          section, etc.etc.

          It is. Fix the source of the problem. Learn some basic HTML.

              This should help:

              The W3C Markup Validation Service
              http://validator.w3.org/
              W3C's easy-to-use markup validation service, based on SGML and XML parsers.


              but your question isn't PHP-specific. In the future you should try an HTML
              group.

                  thanks shaun. the reason i posted here is incase i could have implemented
                  the page better in php.



                  anyway, the code is a complete mess in windows notepad, but the layout of
                  the code looks fine in kwrite.

                      I assume you have got squares instead of line-breaks in the windows
                      notepad, right?
                      This is due to the different ways a line-break is presented under
                      Windows and under Unix(Linux)-Systems.

                      Try an other text-editor under windows or try unix2dos.

                          i know that - i think sum1 said my code was layed out badly - might have
                          misunderstood tho.
